Best Kodi Builds Updated & Working for Krypton/Leia March 2019

The Kodi builds in this review have the best working third-party collections of addons. With an internet connection that isn’t interrupted or throttled, you’ll get less buffering and more working streams with a powerful, modern build such as listed here. Each of the following builds contain a curated collection of Kodi addons that work great.

The following list also contains our choice of the best looking Kodi builds for Firestick and Fire TV box setups. Of course, the same holds true for other Android TV boxes, Windows PCs, Macs, and even the Xbox One. These builds make your entertainment centers look great while finding and providing access to the most free streaming movies, TV shows, and live sports online.

Kodi 18 (codenamed “Leia”) was officially released on January 28, 2019. With that official release, many of these great builds have now been ported to include the added functionality of Kodi v18 Leia.

How to Anonymously Watch Free Movies & TV

Requirements and Recommendations for Kodi Build Installations

As with any Kodi addons installed for free movies, TV shows, and live sports streaming, make sure you know the laws in your area. Much of the streaming media content found freely available online by many third-party Kodi addons included in the builds below isn’t properly licensed for redistribution and can get you in legal trouble depending on where you are watching from.

Also, before you can install any third-party Kodi build on Krypton version 17 or later, you must enable unknown sources. The linked article also points out a few other things that will make your experience with Kodi builds and addons much more pleasant.

Note that My True Media recommends resetting Kodi to its default settings before attempting to install any build. This frees up space while avoiding any incompatibility issues with existing settings or addons. Most Wizards used in a typical build install process have an option to wipe Kodi clean as the first step in their build installation procedure.

Depending on your internet connection, you may need to give Kodi some time (even 15 minutes or more in rare cases) upon restarting it after a build install before using the new Kodi build. This allows your new Kodi build to fully update its collection of addons, propagate menus, and configure itself with little risk of corrupted files. Data collisions that cause corrupted files can make it necessary to wipe the install clean and start the build install process all over again in some instances.

Best Kodi Build List – May 2019

We try to keep this list updated with only best working Kodi 17 builds and Kodi 18 builds and ask your help in keeping it that way.

Please note that this list of best Kodi builds is largely community driven. You should not find out-dated or non-working builds in this list. If you happen to notice one of our chosen builds fails or is down, please call us out for dropping the ball. We watch not only the comment section below, but take comments from Youtube , Twitter & Facebook into account.

Also, if you have any ideas about which builds should or shouldn’t be included, please let us know. The Kodi landscape is in a constant state of flux, and we try to keep up with it as best we can. Help us out with a shout!

No Limits Magic has long been a very popular Kodi build. One of the most comprehensive builds available, Kodi No Limits Magic Build uses the Aeon Nox 5 skin with Silvo Mod. This Kodi skin gives it a wonderful, modern appearance.

One of the best Kodi builds of all time, No Limits Magic Build comes in two flavors. The vanilla includes pleasant mixes of family favorites, while the adults-only version carries a little extra yin & yang wang for only about 5 MB more.

No Limits Magic

The No Limits Magic build gets frequent updates. There is no need to worry about non-working add-ons cluttering your system and causing streaming video links to fail while using it. The top Kodi addons included in No Limits Magic are systematically deleted when they stop working or become obsolete.

Likewise, when a new addon comes along and proves itself to be exceptional, No Limits Magic installs it for you. In fact, the fantastic and brand new Arrakis addon from the Blamo repo has already been added.

No Limits Magic Build Movies

Each of the No Limits builds come in either full Magic or Firestick Lite versions. The No Limits Magic build full version currently tops in at around a 275 MB initial download, so is actually pretty light-weight itself. The Firestick Lite version is right around the 165 MB range for the initial download and just may be the best Kodi build for Firestick sized devices. This comes in fairly quickly and fits great on limited storage devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick .

You will also note that both the Magic and Firestick Lite versions of the No Limits builds come in Adult or No XXX Section flavors. The difference in download size is tiny (less than 2 MB at this time), so that need not be a factor in your decision making.

Download and install No Limits Magic Build for Kodi from this source location

Note that No Limits Build Wizard does two things, which are installation of a No Limits Magic or Firestick Lite Build and a totally fresh start to your Kodi install. The fresh start option deletes all addons and other enhancements you have installed and returns all of your Kodi settings to factory stock. The No Limits Wizard installs any of several versions including:

No Limits Magic (Adult)

No Limits Magic (No XXX Section)

No Limits Firestick Lite (Adult)

No Limits Firestick Lite (No XXX Section)

The No Limits Magic Wizard currently lets you choose between six servers to install from, though the sixth server only hosts the two Firestick Lite versions of the No Limits build. In our own download speed tests, we noticed that which server you choose can greatly affect your download speeds. If it seems your download is going incredibly slow from the start, cancel the download and try another server.

If you’ve kept your Kodi installation updated or installed a fresh version, which at this time is Kodi version 17.6 Krypton, you may fall in love with the Nova build from Simple Build Wizard right away. One of the very best Kodi 17.6 builds available and working fully, Nova will have you relaxing into some great entertainment in no time. A simple download and install process takes place with the aptly named Simple Build Wizard, and then all you have to do is connect with your IPVanish VPN app and watch whatever your heart desires.

Nova Kodi Build

The Simple Build Wizard is just one great reason to love the Nova build. Many of the notorious buffering problems with Kodi can be taken care of with regular maintenance, and the Simple Build Wizard makes this easy.

If you’re up to watching your home team rock it on the field, pitch, court, track, or diamond you’re in luck with this great build and its wonderful selection of sports addons. Never miss another kick-off or coin toss with live sports action just a click away.

Feel free to install the Simple Build Wizard from the Little Guys Co repo server at the following address. The wizard will auto-start once installed and guide you through the Nova build install.

Misfit Mods Lite Build

Misfit Mods Lite Fits Beautifully!

Misfit Mods builds give you access to great streaming live TV, sports, music, and TV shows. Available from Misfit Mods Wizard, the Misfit Mods Lite build fits your Amazon Fire TV or Firestick wonderfully. Don’t be fooled by the small size, though. This little build has been hailed as Kodi build of the year by many tech sites. Misfit Mods Lite has a huge selection of TV addons and categories to cover most interests and really might be the best Kodi build for Firestick installations.

A very prominent feature of Misfit Mods builds including the Lite version is Misfit Mods Wizard. This Kodi wizard helps keep your Kodi installation clean and humming along nicely. It also lets you customize Kodi to fit you perfectly. Misfit Mods Wizard also enables the easy setup of premium services while helping you fix buffering problems.

Oh, did you say you’d like to catch a game? I think Misfit Mods Lite has that covered from NFL, NHL, MBA, NBA, NCAA, and a whole bunch more alphabet soup for your sporting soul to munch for lunch then come back for more.

Misfit Mods Lite Build Sports

Even with its small size, Misfit Mods Lite provides an extensive selection of content to stream through your Fire Stick. You can easily find your way around all the available streaming video content with its simple menu system. This makes Misfit Mods Lite best Kodi build for many by any definition, and is why it is considered the favorite build of many Kodi users. Including some of the best working Kodi addons available such as Monster Munch, Placenta, and Eyasses, you will love the number of working streams this build finds for you.

My True Media suggests installing the Misfit Mods Wizard from the misfitmods.com server at the following address. The wizard will start up once it has installed to walk you through the Misfit Mods Lite build installation process.

Titanium Build

The third-party Kodi community and their top Kodi builds have gone through some serious upheavals lately. The Titanium Build from Supreme Builds Wizard has weathered this storm well and works better than most. Supreme Builds has a winner with the Titanium build. This build provides enough working links and is updated often enough to keep you entertained for many years.

The collection of Kodi addons within Titanium build finds and provides access to plenty of live streams including sports and IPTV channels. Aside from these, Titanium’s collection of addons also lets you access all latest movies and TV shows, and even caters to the kids with their own category. You miss having YouTube on your Firestick since Amazon and Google started squabbling? You’ll be able to access YouTube just fine with the Titanium build.

Titanium utilizes the Xonfluence skin, so won’t bog down your Firestick or other minimal Android TV Kodi box. In fact, many swear that Titanium is the best Kodi build for Firestick devices. This flagship of Supreme Builds Wizard even sports a Spanish section. Altogether, it’s easy to see why Titanium build belongs in any list of best Kodi builds.

My True Media suggests installing the Supreme Builds Repository (home to the Titanium build) from the following server. Then, install the Supreme Builds Wizard from the Supreme Builds Repo in its Program Add-ons directory. The Supreme Builds Wizard will start automatically upon install and then guide you through the Titanium Kodi Build installation.

The team of Ezzerman and Wullie Mac, known collectively as EzzerMacs, have brought us another great Kodi build to adorn our entertainment centers. This time, they’re pushing the purple. Plutonium is also called the Purple Plutonium Build, as it radiates the color of royalty.

Plutonium Kodi Build is lightweight, coming in at only 140MB, which fits easily on Amazon Firestick, Fire TV and nearly any other Kodi streaming device. This great build features a great interface and tons of great streaming Kodi video addons to provide plenty of streaming content online.

This magnificent Kodi build is suitable for users of all ages and includes movies, TV shows, sports, kids programs, music videos and much more. One of the Best Kodi Builds ever put together, you’re gonna love Plutonium Build from Team EzzerMacs.

My True Media suggests installing the EzzerMacs Wizard Repository (home to the Plutonium build) from its own server. Then, install the EzzerMacs Wizard found in the EzzerMacs Wizard Repo Program Add-ons directory. The Supreme Builds Wizard starts automatically after install, then guides you through installation of the Purple Plutonium Kodi Build.

CellarDoorTV Infusion

The CellarDoorTV Wizard and its collection of builds have long been a favorite among Kodi users. Utilizing the Konfluence skinlightweightrDoorTV Infusion massive appeal with many first time Kodi users and tech lovers.

Weighing in at a svelte 282Mb download has the Infusion build rocking your Amazon Firestick with ease. The light weight has no reflection on the power of this beautiful build, though. CellarDoorTV includes some of the best Kodi addons available today. Within, you’ll currently find The Magic Dragon, FlixNet, Star-Tec, Pandora’s Box, Alliance, Genesis Reborn, Aspis, Atriox, Incursion, Joshua, Placenta, Uranus, Monster Munch, and At The Flix among many more.

The CellarDoorTV Infusion build collection of sports addons is quite impressive as well. Among the many great sports Kodi addons included in this CellarDoorTV build, you’ll find great titles such as SportsDevil, Planet MMA, SportsMatrix, FlixSport, The Loop, and Replays R Us.

Download and Install CellarDoorTV Infusion Build for Kodi from its Repository Source Location

My True Media recommends downloading and installing the CellarDoorTV Build Wizard Repo (home to CellarDoorTV Infusion Build) from the following server. Then, install the CellarDoorTV Build Wizard from the Program Add-ons directory within the CellarDoorTV Builds Repository. The CellarDoorTV Build Wizard will automatically start once installed to guide you through installing CellarDoorTV Infusion.

Duff X Build

The Duff X build is developed and designed specifically for Xbox One and Kodi 18 Leia users. Weighing in at just over 300MB, this new build from the Stream Digital Repository works great on the XBox One. Since the XBox One runs Kodi 18 Leia, users of this newest Kodi version on other devices can install Duff X and enjoy its advanced features as well. It may be the best Kodi build on XBox One available to install. Having all code updates made to Kodi 18 Leia in mind during its design also makes Duff X incredibly nice to have on any device running Leia.

The addons included in Duff X are specially picked to work great on the XBox One with Kodi 18 Leia. You’ll find top-level categories specific to SD video and 4K UHD in Duff X. These are paired with the expected Movies, TV Shows, Kids, Sports, and Music categories. This great Kodi 18 build is one of the best.

Don’t assume the Xbox One with Kodi 18 Leia is the only place Duff X build works well. Duff X will also function great on other Kodi 18 devices with version 18 Leia installed. The screenshot above was taken on a Windows 10 PC with Kodi 18 Leia Alpha 1 installed. If you’ve been looking for the best Kodi 18 build to install on your new XBox or any Kodi 18 device, you’ll find Duff X fits perfectly.

The Ultimate FireTV build from XOne Wizard is another made specifically for Kodi 18 Leia. This build uses the Fire TV skin, which has a top-level menu down the left side. Many people prefer this, as the horizontal menu seems too common to them these days.

One somewhat major thing to note about Ultimate Fire TV build is the lack of support for pointer devices such as mice. You can use a mouse to control Ultimate FireTV with some difficulty, but you won’t want to.

The simplicity of default Ultimate Fire TV build backgrounds is also a refreshing change for many Kodi 18 users. The plain black background really highlights the content including video posters and Kodi add-ons.

There is one downside to this build that keeps it at the bottom of our working list; it hasn’t been updated in a long time. Ultimate Fire TV build still carries the Colossus and UKTurks repos, which have been dead and gone for many months. However, with just a few deletions, upgrades, and updates, you could very easily end up with the very best Kodi 18 build for Leia systems. If you would like help clearing out dead addons and installing fresh working ones, let us know in the comments.

This build works great on an Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, XBox One, or any system running Kodi 18 with enough memory available. Ultimate FireTV build takes up around 400 MB once unpacked and installed, but remember that media and metadata will add to that number when used.

The UKodi1 Gold build from UKodi1 Builds Wizard has versions that work wonderfully on either Kodi 17 Krypton or Kodi 18 Leia. This build uses the UKodi1 skin, which is very light-weight and doesn’t get in the way of enjoying a good streaming movie.

While the collection of video add-ons in the UKodi1 Gold build is quite sparse at this time, this makes it an extremely fast performer. This build is excellent for smaller Kodi streaming devices such as the Amazon Firestick.

Other Kodi Builds Worthy of Mention

For various reasons, the Kodi builds listed in this section of our article have something worthy of mentioning. They will be far from considered a best Kodi build, but may have redeeming qualities for a small set of users for some reason or other.

Simplify Light Krypton Build

If seeking a build with a simple and clean design, then we recommend the Simplify Light Krypton build as a “gem in the rough.” While it has somemany updates required before reaching the top of any “best builds” list, the Simplify Light Krypton for Kodi 17 Build is much more powerful than you might expect from its tiny footprint. The rough edges are easily remedied with easy access to the settings and addon install and update features.

We are only including this build as a “fixer upper” for those wanting an easily modified, simple build of small size to get their feet wet in modifying Kodi builds. It is currently far from being the best build for Kodi, but worth a mention for its simplicity to understand and hack. You could start from scratch and get a build up and running much faster, but tearing into this will give a feel for a few things you can’t learn from a clean start. Soon after toying with this build, if modifying this build is something you really enjoy, we hope you begin to search for online tutorials about making your own builds. The Kodi community needs more builders and coders, so have fun with this.

At just over 120MB to download and less than 200MB installed, Simplify Light really packs a wallop for its tiny size. Quickly and easily installed on the Amazon Fire Stick or Fire TV, you’ll love the clean feel of Simplify Light Krypton build.

The good news about the Simplify Light Krypton 17 build is that it has a great selection of some of the best Kodi add-ons ever made right out of the box. The bad news is that most included repositories and addons are a bit outdated pretty much dead. This could be a serious bummer if you just want to install a build and start watching movies and live sports on your newly beautified Kodi streaming media center. For that, we recommend any fully working builds listed above for now. Simplify Light even includes the DandyMedia and NaN (Noobs and Nerds) repositories, which have been dead and gone for a long while now.

Fortunately, the Simplify Light Krypton build is built on the Aeon Nox skin with the Silvo mod, so it’s easy to add and remove addons. If the simple style offered by Simplify Light is something you really like, then you can make this tiny build exactly what you want with very little effort.

My True Media suggests installing the LentechTV Build Installer from the lentechtv.com server at the following location. The LentechTV Build Installer, which is a Kodi wizard addon, will start up once it has installed to walk you through the Simplify Light build installation process.

Be sure to choose the force quit Kodi option after install. Also, give Simplify Light plenty of time to update settings and addons when starting Kodi back up. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.

Dead & Gone Builds Graveyard

The following builds no longer work or don’t reside within their home wizards any longer. They may not be coming back. If you notice any of these builds taking their place once more in a Build Wizard or any repository, please holler at us in the comments.

Durex Build

Durex is a fantastic build for Kodi 17.6 Krypton and works wonderfully on an Amazon Firestick. Note that even being one of the most popular Kodi builds of all time and actively maintained, Durex is not available as a Kodi 18 build at this time. Durex quickly gained popularity upon release with a large following within the Kodi community. The Durex Kodi build has redundant hosting, with multiple servers keeping it alive. If a server is pulled down by self-proclaimed pirate hunters or other hackers, there are still multiple servers available to download, install, and update the Durex build.

The Durex build also has a huge collection of best Kodi addons available. Durex provides entertainment for nearly anyone to enjoy. Your age group doesn’t matter, either. There is a tremendously diverse collection of addons in this build.

Another amazing feature of Durex, it provides a private IPTV Service. Sadly, this is a paid service. We find Aragon Live TV addon does the trick for us (and then some) without added out-of-pocket expense.

These features tend to make Durex the best build available for Kodi in many people’s opinion. Many more say it’s at least the best Kodi build for Firestick devices. Try it on your Amazon Fire TV , Firestick , or any other device with Kodi installed.

Download & Install Durex Build for Kodi from its Repo Source Location

My True Media suggests installing Durex Wizard from the Durex Build server. The wizard will start up once it has installed to walk you through the Durex build installation process.

Spark Build

The Spark Krypton 17 v1.0 build concentrates on getting you everything you want with no extra fluff. If you like clean interfaces without all the usual wow-factor visual cruft thrown at you, Spark may be the build for you. Large, simple icons are found in the Spark build menu. There is much to recommend the Spark build as one of the best Kodi builds available, but the simple elegance is right up top.

For Kodi users that love to customize their setups, Spark offers plenty of that, too. Fine tuning the Spark build user interface is a breeze. This is a great way for budding Kodi UI developers to get their feet wet.

You’ll find all the latest releases for both TV series and movies available in the Spark build. The included set of Kodi addons is top notch, as would be expected of a build making it into the best Kodi builds list.

Download and install the Spark Krypton 17 v1.0 Build for Kodi from this source location

My True Media suggests installing the LentechTV Build Installer from the lentechtv.com server at the following location. The LentechTV Build Installer, which is a Kodi wizard addon, will start up once it has installed to walk you through the Spark Krypton 17 build installation process.

I gotta say that the No Limits Magic build is really impressive to have on our TV after getting it fully updated! My husband got home and thought I was crazy to have subscribed to something really expensive right after dropping cable TV! I talked him down. 😉

Hey Cassie,

I think the Cosmic Saints builds haven’t been developed since about May or so. You can still get an old copy of one of their Kodi builds and set it up with updated addons if you really loved it. I do think No Limits Magic is a great choice, though. Let us know how it goes and good luck! I’d be especially curious how it goes if you choose the updated Cosmic Saints build route. Plenty of great working Kodi addons to choose from to make it work well again.
